Firefox Update: Tuesday, 20-Apr-2021

Although Vivaldi is the primary web browser on CLASSE computers, and Firefox is now deprecated, we continue to make Firefox available for those rare websites that still require it. On Tuesday, 20-Apr-2021, we will push an automated Firefox update to CLASSE Windows systems during our normal maintenance window. On some computers, this update will require manual intervention to complete. If you encounter a broken Firefox update, and you cannot use Vivaldi for any reason, please submit a ServiceRequest with a description of your Firefox need.

Autodesk 2021 Upgrade: Friday, 23-Apr-2021 @ 5:00 PM

On Friday, 23-Apr-2021, at 5:00 PM, the CLASSE Autodesk Vault server will be shut down to begin the process of migrating to Autodesk 2021. Instructions for preparing for this migration were sent to the CLASSE-INVENTOR-ANNOUNCE-L mailing list. Please submit a ServiceRequest if you need a copy of these instructions. Autodesk 2021 products will be available in AppsAnywhere beginning next Tuesday, 27-Apr-2021.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
